REVIEWS

I was simply and happily impressed in every aspect of the food and service your firm provided for the party! I've used numerous other catering firms over the years and none made it as simple and satisfying as Olives & Herbs did. The first experience with any new firm always comes with a baseline amount of anxiety abou...t whether they will come through for you, and Olives & Herbs did in spades.

I NEVER in a millions years thought Chef Renee would come back to her hometown of Springfield, Illinois to cater my wedding! When I made the initial call to her I was very nervous - but, she AGREED to drive 900+ miles one way to cater my wedding. WHY did I decide to pay for her to come back to Spfld to cater? Chef Renee is amazing - her food is UNBELIEVABLE! When she had her catering business here in Spfld I attended so many weddings where Chef Renee was the caterer. Her Sun-Dried Tomato Ravioli with Alfredo Sauce - sooo delicious! Everyone was absolutly shocked when I announced who the caterer was - her reputation in Spfld is still quit strong & I do believe a few of my friends were jealous that I was able to acquire Chef Renee all the way from Savannah Ga. Thank you thank you thank you Chef Renee for driving so far, working in a kitchen you were not familiar with, and making my wedding rememorable! Once again - you outdone yourself!

My husband and I used Olives & Herbs for our wedding recently. We had a buffet with lots of different choices for our guests. Everyone at our wedding was so inpressed with the savoreyness of the chicken and the prime rib was so tender it melted in your mouth! All the side dishes complimented with everything that was there and it tasted so good! The service of the stafff was very prompt and they were all so friendly. We definately got more than our moneys worth with Olives & Herbs and we would recommend this catering company to ANYONE. You would not be disappointed! Thank you Chef Renee for giving us EXACTLY what you promised.

32 Degrees North Catering & Design is a great off-site catering company. Our first initial meeting, they prepared a few items for us to taste which were amazing. They were super flexible and open to preparing foods not listed on their menu. The food was excellent and my favorite part was the everything was handmade for 200 guests. The service was classy and we would highly recommend them.

We worked with Chef Renee with 32 Degrees North Catering & Design and LOVED her! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and was an amazing combination of competence and kindness. This being the first wedding that my family and I had planned, we were looking for a caterer who would guide us through the process--Chef Renee really went above and beyond in her willingness to answer all our questions, design a fantastic menu, and pull the whole wedding together. She was the perfect balance of knowledgable advice and openness to our needs and desires. The wedding was an incredible success--I would even say "perfect"--largely because of Chef Renee and her team. My husband and I actually enjoyed the wedding! We trusted everything to her and her company--we had very high expectations for the big day and were not dissapointed in the least! She thought of tiny details that really make a wedding memorable that would not have even crossed my mind. The food at the wedding was delicious--we got many compliments from the guests saying that it was the best wedding food they'd tasted. They also graciously accomodated all the food restrictions of our guests. I really cannot say enough or thank Chef Renee enough for the excellent job that 32 Degrees North Catering & Design did for our wedding. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any event.

Absolutely amazing! The food was spectacular and the PRICES WERE FANTASTIC. I couldn't believe it. The staff at the event was professionally dressed and were terrific.We have a very specific diet that most catering companies refused to accomodate. 32 Degrees North Catering & Design went out of thier way to make our meal spectacular. They were willing to serve dessert at no extra charge and did not include a corking fee for the champane. We had a wonderful experience with them. It was that attention to detail that impressed me.

Early in my wedding planning I came across 32 Degrees North Catering. My parents, husband, and I attended one of their (free!) tastings and were impressed by their experience, professionalism, and quality of food. 32 Degrees North Catering was incredibly easy to work with and helped guide my parents and I in making decisions to meet our needs and budget for the reception.

On the day of the wedding 32 Degrees North Catering was on site on time and began setting-up with no trouble. The reception proceeded without a hitch through the buffet dinner, champagne toast, and cake cutting. The catering staff was nearly invisible and after the reception had everything quickly cleaned up.

I would, with no hesitation, use 32 Degrees North Catering again and would highly recommend them.

A friend of mine in Springfield Il informed me that one of Springfields premiere caterer relocated to Savannah Ga. After we visited Savannah Ga my fiance and I decided to have our wedding in this majestic city. I knew I had to contact 32 Degrees North Catering & Design before I left town to reserve the date. The Chef/Owner Renee is incredible! There is no doubt in my mind we made the right decision. Her food taste as beautiful as it appears. I can see why 32 Degrees North Catering & Design is considered "Boutique". Chef Renee really did take a personal interest in my special day.
